This doesn't look like a Python issue to me; it also looks like it's nothing to do with ctypes, so I've unselected that from the components. The bug may well be in gobjectmodule.c, which isn't part of core Python AFAIK. Any chance you could narrow down the cause of the failure? |

This bug reports corresponds to one opened on Gnome: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578419 According to the devs there: "As far as I can tell this is a Python/C bug. PyGObject is doing everything by the book, and it is Python that is giving us corrupted base objects. I debugged long and hard but was unable to fix a bug that just isn't there, nor was I able to figure out a workaround." I sure don't want this to get into a finger-pointing battle! All I know is that I can reproduce this at will. If the backtrace is not enough to narrow down the cause of failure, please let me know what you would need. I'll be glad to help solve the problem. |

This is a bug in pygobject, which has been already corrected btw: http://git.gnome.org./cgit/pygobject/commit/?id=84706c9a73ad8b2e1dbd3eada09e4425a01d4d05 The "corrupted base object" is actually an old-style class... [the gdb trace shows that you don't have this version: in pyg_type_add_interfaces(), the variable 'base' was a PyTypeObject*, the bug fix changed it to a PyObject*] |
